Dirt - Just 1 spot left; win a FREE SEASON! Topic

Greetings all, Dirt is about to head into its 24th season and I have a few teams looking for dedicated owners. Currently there are 4 confirmed openings, but there may be a few more on the way if I don't hear back from previous owners.

Fargo Thundering Herd Hardball Dynasty – Fantasy Baseball Sim Games - Franchise Profile: Last season Fargo finished 56-106; the upshot to this, I suppose, is that they hold the #1 overall pick in next season's draft. There is only one player under contract for over $2 million (he's making $5.2), so you will have the flexibility to mold this franchise as you see fit without having to be saddled down by bad contracts like some teams are. Fargo has been claimed.

I will update this with further teams if they become available. If you're interested in one of these teams please contact me.

12/08: If these fine franchises and fellow owners are not enough to entice you, they now come with two chances to win a gift card for a free season. We will give away a $25 gift card to the two owners who improve their w/l record the most over this past season.

I have 5 more teams available. These were not listed earlier as I had not heard from their former owners and wanted to give everyone a chance to reclaim there teams. The additional teams are as follows:

Jacksonville Hardball Dynasty – Fantasy Baseball Sim Games - Franchise Profile: Last season Jacksonville finished 62-100 while playing in the NL. Jacksonville's biggest problem last year is that they were abandoned part way through the season. We did find a temporary replacement owner, but by then the damage was already done. The team itself is probably some high contact power hitters and a solid rotation already in place. This team was poised to return to the post season last year and whoever takes them should be able to get them there again. In addition to all of this, you will also be getting pick #2 in the draft.

Montgomery Hardball Dynasty – Fantasy Baseball Sim Games - Franchise Profile: Last season Montgomery finished 64-98 while playing in the NL Montgomery is one of those rare franchises that spent all 23 seasons in the same city under the same owner. As with Jacksonville there is more talent on this squad than the record indicates. The big league squad lacks a bit in the offensive department, but they have an overabundance of quality arms; if you enjoy wheeling and dealing this may be the squad you're looking for. You will also be receiving the 3rd overall pick in the draft. Montgomery has been claimed.

Season 24. 14 owners have been around for 9+ years, and 8 have been in for 22! I checked 3-4 other private leagues -- you won't find many with that kind of tenure. There is a real solid core of owners to this league. This is only my 5th year in this league myself, but the owner quality is obvious.
